Negotiating Trees and Trade
This paper examines how gendered norms, informality, and structural inequalities govern women’s agency in tree-based forest and agroforestry products (TFAPs) value chains in Kenya, focusing on tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) and coconut (Cocos nucifera L.). It analyses how constraints affect women’s access to resources, decision-making, and opportunities to develop their TFAPs businesses, as well as how women respond through individual and collec…
Leveraging urban consumer perceptions to strengthen marketing for baobab, coconut, and tamarind in Mombasa, Kenya
Urban consumers show strong demand for baobab, coconut and tamarind products. • Product choice is driven by nutrition, taste and cultural familiarity. • Four key factors shaping consumer perceptions of products from these three species. • Better marketing and value chains for these products can promote business and livelihoods. Tree-based forest and agroforestry products (TFAPs) are essential for food security, climate resilience and rural liveli…
Climate concern, wood’s perceived climate benefits, and attitudes as predictors of intention to live in multi-storey wooden buildings
Climate belief and concern strengthen belief in wood’s climate benefit across countries. • Belief in wood’s low-carbon role improves attitudes toward MSWB living. • Comfort and liveability attitudes mediate beliefs and MSWB intentions. • Climate beliefs alone are weaker predictors of intention than liveability attitudes. • Wood buildings can support sustainable futures if consumer-aligned. The built environment is a major contributor to global em…
Africanyouth4forests – from science to youth action for sustainable forests
African forests are critical for biodiversity, climate resilience, and livelihoods but face mounting pressures from deforestation, land-use change, and climate impacts. The AfricanYouth4Forests (AY4F) initiative, launched in 2024, mobilises youth as agents of sustainable forestry through participatory science, digital tools, and policy engagement. Workshops in Kenya and Cameroon brought together young leaders, scientists, and policymakers to co-c…
Consumer housing choices among residents living in wooden multi-storey buildings
Wooden multi-storey construction (WMC) offers an alternative building solution for urban consumers seeking a low-carbon, sustainable lifestyle yet, the literature on consumer experiences in newly constructed WMC-apartments is sparse. This exploratory study develops an understanding about consumer choices with newly built WMC-apartments through thematic interviews of residents and property managers in five cities across Finland and Sweden.Contents…
The role of personal values and personality traits in environmental concern of non-industrial private forest owners in Sweden
Environmental benefits have become priority objectives for the management of forests, including for private forest owners in many countries. Understanding and promoting environmental-friendly private forest management requires a measure of environmental concern of forest owners and knowledge of factors that influence it. Such a measure allows to explore underlying motivations of forest owners to include environmental aspects in their forest manag…
Using von Thünen rings and service-dominant logic in balancing forest ecosystem services
Shades of green
Politics increasingly introduces initiatives supporting a shift toward a bioeconomy aiming at a society relying strongly on renewable biological sources while achieving economic growth efficiently and sustainably. However, the agenda of bioeconomy comprises different “shades of green,” in the sense that different actors stress different aspects of the concept, when embracing it in communication. This conceptual paper aims to present policy and so…
Service logics of providers in the forestry services sector
Factors Associated with the Performance of User Groups in a Participatory Forest Management around Dodola Forest in the Bale Mountains, Southern Ethiopia
This study analysed and determined factors associated with performance in collective action of a forest under participatory forest management in Southern Ethiopia. Data were collected in 22 user groups and a performance index was computed using indicators including forest cover change, households' perception of the change and satisfaction in their livelihoods, management activity, and length of overdue rent payment. The results show that heteroge…
Livelihood strategies and the role of forest income in participatory-managed forests of Dodola area in the bale highlands, southern Ethiopia
